Notes from the arena champ.
How to ruin a warrior

Skills: 18/7/30/17/10/18 Faves: MO/LO GS learns Parry
I don't regret it, but recognize I took a very strong setup and made it into a
Basher. At the time, I was making everything into Bashers and still hadn't graduated
a 3 speed basher.
That said, I wouldn't make these numbers into a basher again.
After a final fight in the dark arena, he heads into retirement. It's been fun.
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of MORDANT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team MIGHTY MORALS II was
unseated this week as CLUELESS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a
2-3-0 record for the round. RILIS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested TAI and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In
one of the week's more notable duels, RILIS put down TAI, causing her to lose 15
points of recognition in the process. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others,
Duelmaster HONOR Dark Arena Challenged DARK CHAMPION last week in a match to decide
the fate of the throne. The crowds were amazed this turn, as DARK CHAMPION killed
the Duelmaster, HONOR, leaving MIGHTY MORALS II in mourning. Would you believe that
over half of the old women in MORDANT seem to feel that they could fight better than
you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in MORDANT these days is BOOZE. At least, most blades in town are
looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was
that spent the better part of last week avoiding BOOZE. Indeed it was MIGHTY MORALS
II. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge
that many fighters are after CHINA BULL. Watch your back!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Strange what qualities come forth in the
face of certain doom. 177121517115 has the town astir with the news of its Dark
Arena victory! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in MORDANT as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed
a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
